402039-05 Full Page 8 x 10 Inch Magnifier LED Illuminated Floor Lamp, Plastic,Silver

Reading is my mom's favorite thing to do but she's go ARMD in her one good eye and her reading vision seems to get blurry more often these days. The doctor recommended she try to get as much light and magnification as possible on her reading material. She was already reading large print books and using a table top book stand, high intensity reading lamp over her shoulder, a handheld magnifying page, and a hand held magnifying glass. But they weren't enough.Using this new stand with its built in light has really helped. She was straining so hard to read and getting so frustrated and depressed before. She's so much happier now. It's removed a lot of the struggle to see the words clearly. We got her reading table and chair set up so her book stand, her reading lamp, and the new magnifying stand are all angled for optimal benefit, and she can now read quite easily without a lot of fuss/constant adjustments (as with the hand held magnifiers).The magnifying stand does have to be carefully adjusted so it's parallel to the page for best results (as other reviewers have mentioned), but that's easy with the book stand keeping the reading material steady and at a consistent angle. I also second the recommendation of others to cover the stand when not in use - if it's anywhere near a window and the sun might possibly hit it some time during the day, it does concentrate the light and I can see where it might create a fire hazard. Mom uses a pillow case to cover hers when not in use.The magnifier is a good size and she can see both pages of the book at once (or she slides the book stand side to side slightly if needed). I do wish it had a few more lights. I can see the day when the existing ones may not be bright enough to help enough. There was a similar stand on Amazon with more lights/greater illumination, but the size of the magnifier was a lot smaller. I opted for this one so she wouldn't have to constantly be moving the book or the magnifier for each page, which she was already doing with the hand helds. Hopefully someone will sell a lighted magnifying stand at least this size with greater illumination by the time mom needs it.

Bought this for my sister who is losing her vision. After several months it still works perfectly. She can once again enjoy her books and sewing. It was easy to put together and can be used over a chair or bed.

The product itself works nicely. I am already enjoying the ability to read without holding a magnifier. The fact that the post is simply inserted into the base is a bit awkward since one cannot pick up the "gooseneck" portion of the lamp and move it without the post becoming disconnected from the base. The parts that had to be screwed into each other proved to be a bit challenging since some of the thread parts turned and I had to hold them with pliers to connect. This was a "new" lamp, but had been returned for some reason and was discounted a bit--which was my incentive to purchase it. The packaging was really bad and the Styrofoam came apart when I opened the box and overall I had Styrofoam particles all over the floor. The device itself was literally stuffed into the box in whatever manner necessary to re-mail it. In the future, I will pay full price and purchase totally new to avoid risking a mess.

We got this for an 89 year old who reads the newspaper everyday. It didn’t make the news any better, but it made the paper very very easy to read. She loves it and has no problem moving it into position and adjusted. The light is perfect for reading. It’s big! No squinting or constantly moving it to see anything. The bronze color goes with her decor nicely.

Rickety, difficult to balance, ok for some tasks. I appreciate that someone tried to help individuals with visual problems!

I had high hopes for this lamp because of the large size of the magnification area and the fact that it has bright, cool burning, long-life LED lights. I bought this lamp as a gift for my elderly mother to use for craft work and reading, but when I gave it a pretrial run I realized it would not be suitable for her. While the concept of the larger magnification area is good, in reality I did not find it functional for what it would be used for. I found you must hold your work or reading material within 3 inches of the magnifier in order for it to appear clearly. Due to the heads large size, this in itself is difficult to do because it prevents you from easily getting your hands in the right position under the lens to work or read properly without distortion. The magnifier itself is not optical glass; instead a plastic magnification sheet has been added underneath the lens. The 'ringed' ridges in this sheet are always in view and hinder what you are looking at. In short, I knew this would be a source of irritation to my mother as it was to me. Also, the 12 LED lights were not really adequate enough light to work with. It could easily stand having twice the number. Then too, because the lights are located only on the outside corners of the viewing surface, my hands would cast shadows when held in various positions thereby decreasing the available light. Once again this is because you have to hold them so close to the magnifier for clarity. All in all, this was not what I had hoped for and so have returned this item and ordered Quality Magnifier Floor Lamp for Reading - X-Large Lens - 60 LED for a hopefully better product fit!

It is the best thing I have ever bought. I can see now to read which has been my lifelong passion. You brought my sight back.Thank You!!

The bright focused light plus magnifier has made it possible for my husband to read his magazines again. My only issue was it was a little tricky to get it screwed together. Otherwise, it is fine.

La utilizopara trabajo de manualidades.

I got it for my dad to help with reading while he is sitting in his chair. Works so well i am getting myself one as well.

Pole inserted in base but easily dislodged.Gooseneck sagged when position of comfort found. Did not stay in place.

Product was easy to assemble, except for excess wire. It was a little difficult to shove up the main tube. Light was bright, magnification was excellent, and the gooseneck was very flexible and sturdy.

la loupe est en plastique et n est pas aussi precise que si elle etait en verre. Sa grandeur est toutefois superieure et utile pour le champ de vision. De plus l eclairage des leds est insuffisante.Desole !
